How To Get Out Of Debt Fast? Help Needed

 

See it has become a major problem. Many are looking for the same solution as you are doing? My self also in the same problem, still searching for the solution find many ways just couldn't know which one is the suitable one.

Some other tips on ways to get out of debt faster:

1) Sell any valuable assets you have and use the proceeds to pay of your debt.

2) Ask a family member or friend for a personal loan.

3) Contact your lenders to see if they offer any hardship programs. These programs typically allow the borrower to make payments at a lower interest rate for a fixed period of time.

4) Consider hiring a credit counseling agency or debt settlement firm to work on your behalf.

Cashking- I appreciate your insight. Having worked in the debt settlement industry, I do know that bad companies exist as they do in any industry. One of the main issues is companies who do not reveal the potential drawbacks (for example, the negative impact on your credit from settling a debt) to their prospective clients.

And I am sure there exist credit counseling companies who do not do a great job either. 

In no way am I attempting to steer people to do one thing or the other- rather, point out to people that credit counseling or debt settlement, if you are a good fit and are facing circumstances in which those services could help you, is not necessarily a bad option. Nor are all of these companies "overall bad and unethical." That is a sweeping generalization.

Two more things- not everyone who is in debt is "broke." In fact, recent statistics have suggested the average two person household carries roughly $8 K in debt. And a lot of individuals actually have six figure incomes and a lot of debt- their debt to income ratio allows them to get credit fairly easily and as a result it increases the likelihood that they rack up additional balances.

And finally, I agree with you- yes, you can settle debts yourself without a doubt. My point was this- it isn't likely that you will settle for as low a percentage as you could without knowing the internal policies of the creditor or collector you are working with. So if you know these things- all the power to you.

So essentially, I agree with you on several of your points and am not trying to be confrontational in any way- I think it is good to hear both sides on any issue. But I do believe there are plenty of people who can genuinely benefit from credit counseling and/or debt settlement. And on the opposite side of that token there are plenty of people who could successfully manage their debt and get out of debt on their own.

I apologize for the double post but also- cashking, please take note of my post on July 7th, as hiring a professional service fell to #4 on my getting out of debt tips after selling assets, asking a family member or friend for help, and contacting your lenders on your own to see what types of hardship programs they may offer first.

I just wanted you to be aware that I also know credit counseling and/or debt settlement is not always the best alternative and shouldn't be considered a #1 option if you have other financial resources around you.
